Default 1996 grand caravan 3.0 - no spark

Van died, no fuel pressure, replaced fuel pump and filter. Still would not start. Checked spark, no spark, replaced distributor cap, coil and crank position sensor (one item at a time). Still no spark. I've dumped a lot of cash into this vehicle with 140,000 miles on it. What now?

Bad fuse or maybe a short somewhere? This guy from the link has the same problem and some things you can try to narrow it down.

Did you ck the asd relay? Also what else is not working, because the bus curcuit maybe down. The bus curcuit should be 2.5 volts. If its more than that the whole van or car goes down.

I really have no way to test voltage. I have thought about a relay cause I had to put one on a long time back, just not sure which one. The ASD relay is the Auto Sut Down relay? I will try that. I thought about trying that first but the parts store said it could not be it. I should have done it anyway might have been cheaper than buying all that others stuff. Thank you.
